Okay, I think that I achieved the Basic Task of the Month! (making it snow) I was actually just repeating a mantra to remind myself to make it snow, but this alone caused it to happen a little earlier than I expected.
Great tasks this month... looking forward to trying several of these. (And probably this one again, since I didn't get to play in the snow like I'd hoped!)
Spoiler for Task Details:
The next room is a post office filled with dream characters waiting in line. Hell if I'm going to spend a lucid dream hanging around in the post office, so I start running. Still repeating my "I'm going to make it snow" mantra, I go through another automatic door into a quiet, windowed reception area.
Through the window I see that it's night outside and a fierce blizzard is swirling outside. There's a road outside and the headlights of passing cars illuminate twisting snow eddies. An 18-wheeler roars by and blows its horn for no apparent reason. The snowfall is so thick that the truck disappears quickly after passing.
I try to head for the building's exit, but it's extremely hard to move. Even though I can't feel the cold winds outside, somehow they're affecting things inside the reception area. I lean into "wind" that I can't even feel, trying to push forward outside into the actual blizzard. It occurs to me that I'm trying to get better at flowing with adversity in lucid dreams, especially adversity in the form of wind. My brute force progress is slow, but I make it close to the exit. Before I make it out, though, I wake up.
